The Antler Tupelo | Meri-Hollis + Josh Wedding

Hewlett Stables | Annie Elise Photography | Wedding Rainbow

We started the morning getting ready at Meri-Hollis’ parent’s home just a few minutes away from The Antler in Tupelo, MS – where they would be getting married later in the day. It was extra sentimental because she and Josh are moving states away to Texas and now she’ll always have a piece of home with her in their wedding album. From the girls piling on the bed, to mom helping her get dressed by their reading nook, to sweet bridal portraits in the dining room, and the bridesmaids in their driveway… every corner had its own story.

Her mom and sister founded ReDesigns and one of her bestie bridesmaids owns The Bridal Path where MH got her dress. These talented ladies whipped out the needle and thread to perfect her look right before the first look with the bridesmaids. After that, we drove over to The Antler for her big reveal to a teary-eyed Josh.

Quite possibly my favorite moment of their day, during portraits, they touched foreheads and I asked them to breathe a prayer over each other. Josh just started praying out loud and my heart melted for a bit.

We had to make a quick recovery because dad arrived for his first look, followed by Meri-Hollis’ little brother… cueing more tears. These guys are just all-around the sweetest fam.

If you haven’t yet, you’ll want to visit their engagement session to know how they met. After having a happy ceremony that effectively ended their whole long-distance nonsense, these guys celebrated, hard. In fact, before the end of the night, I caught a few nappers. Lol, clearly that wasn’t acceptable behavior and the night ended with a once-again packed dance floor. Special thanks to Style Entertainment for bringing in the fun & joy!

Look out world, here come the Bryants!!
